Had always wanted to see this one. I'm almost embarrassed to say I hadn't seen it.

One of the greatest war movies ever made.

Did not know that Mcqueen was chasing himself, as the stuntmen couldn't ride as well as he did. Thanks. T.C.M.

Damn good movie. Steve McQueen, Chuck Bronson, James Gardner, the list goes on and on!

One of my favorites by far. Mcqueen=awesome. Thank you to our boys on this memorial day.5/28/12.

Few movies attain greatness. This film surpasses it.

"The cooler .... right" When McQueen was king @tcm

An awesome movie! Here's to the fifty!

One of the absolute best movies of all time!! Must Watch

No better way to spend Memorial Day...then with Steve McQueen!

I love this movie. Their ingenuity is truly incredible.

TCM is becoming my favorite channel.

I like this movie even more knowing it is based on a true story. I admire people who choose not to accept their circumstances but instead rise above them.

Great movie! Dang I can't stay up to watch it

Crashing out for the night...

If it is on. I got to watch. One of my favorite WWII movies. Classic cast.

Great film + fantastic score = compelling drama

Watching one of the best World War 2 movies of all time...

Remember I saw a doc that went back to the camp site, they dug down & some the wood that lined the tunnels was still there! McQueen riding in Austrian hillside is prob my fav movie scene!

Kudos to TCM for another fine choice The Great Escape! True story of the largest mass escape during WWII, boasts an outstanding all star cast, then there's Elmer Bernstein's iconic score! Stands... more

I have no words for how awesome this movie is.

McQueen is so cool as Virgil Hilts. Such a great movie.

Coming up next on TCM

My favorite war film, not just for Steve McQueen and James Garner. Time to pull out that old ball and glove.

Because it's Memorial Day. And I wanna see Steve McQueen on a motorcycle.

Despite seeing this a dozen times, I still hope Hilts makes that last jump, Hendley fixes the engine trouble, and Cavendish doesn't trip!

More Steve McQueen? Don't mind if I do!

It's compulsory to watch this over Easter I believe. It's an unwritten law

I watched this today...I love Steve McQueen & James Garner looks like my dad.

Remake? Oh please nooo... I will already watch original one until i die. :) I don't want to see "soulless remakes" anymore. Everything is better in its own time.
